Listen to Your Mother - Store and Clean That Jewelry

You've probably been scolded once or twice to brush your teeth and clean your room. What you may not have realized was that your mom was trying to instill a sense of pride in you - pride for yourself, and pride or your belongings. Let's focus on the latter. Namely, storing and cleaning your jewelry. When you take care of your accessories properly, you elongate their life--ergo, your enjoyment of them.

That gold chain necklace deserves to shine! Don't let it get tarnished and tangled at the bottom of a drawer. Display it proudly from a set of wall hooks along with your other pendants! Remember that diamond necklace you got for your first anniversary? Bet you thought it was lost forever. See what great discoveries can be made when you actually get your ducks--er, necklaces--in a row?

Now let's talk bracelets. Stuffing them together can harm your charms. Space them evenly and it won't be a problem. And oh, don't you wish you had a nice place to set your rings while you wash the dishes to keep them out of water's way? That's what ring holders are for. And they're super cute, too! Now step back, admire your freshly cleaned and sorted accessories and give your mother a big thank you.
